A House of Lords committee has called for the Scotland Bill to be halted amid concerns over the proposed legislation.

The Economic Affairs Committee has claimed the future of the UK “could well be at risk” if the problem are not solved at this stage.

Issues include agreement on the funding of the Scottish budget and how it is adjusted once powers are devolved, the scrutiny of public revenues and spending, borrowing powers, fiscal rules and fiscal institutions.

The committee has said the Bill should not proceed to the committee stage - the first stage where amendments can be made – a framework to deal with these issues is set out.
